Oh yes. Many, many thousands of little dots. I love them dearly, each and every dot.

Dots. I can't shade like that so it's even more amazing <3

This is beautiful Rachael! Do the stars in the background have textures? I really like the look of them. Dragon looks amazing, too!! Great work

Thanks very much!
Yes, there's just a bit of texture in the real version of this piece. I used a paint with a bit of body so that the larger stars would be like little half-pearls on the paper.

My pleasure!
I thought it looks like there is a bit of depth

I like how the stars are 3D...
And pointillism...brings back cross-eyed memories every time! I hope you're enjoying yours, i didnt enjoy mine.

Thanks!
Photoshop gets the credit for making the stars look nifty in the digital version - the scan didn't pick up the little droplet shapes as well as I'd hoped.
Yeah, pointillism is a bear. That's why I can only stand to do it for about half an hour at a time. But the texture...

Wow that is soooo pretty! You can do so much with just black and white!

Thank you!
It's taken me ages to get to the point where my black-n-whites are passable, so I'm glad that this piece passes muster.

There is something that screams "classic fantasy" about this. I don't know what it might be though. Great shading and muscular definition.
Hope I get to see it in real life. *Shiny!*

Thanks! If I still have the piece after Archon in October, then it'll be at ConQuesT in 2012.
It might be the super-simple, direct approach - fantastic-thing-in-starfield seems to have been a favorite subject among the fanzine illustrators of eld. I just happened to be running with a theme of my own in this case. That it reads "classic fantasy" is a bonus.

Wow! You're going to Archon!!! Good luck! I hope you do well!
You've always had great themes in your pieces. Keep it up!

This i quit a gorgeous dragon you have made n black and white. I really how you have made the shading with dots and the amount they are spaced, plus the way you made the spiral galaxy, nicely done.

Isn't it, though? Great stuff...
